Comment on Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition
Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day agoUsers/friends locked onto a platform that doesn’t support Java edition because of Microsoft, notably Mobile phones and game consoles.
Whenever you hear about someone asking about running bedrock, it’s to play with the unlucky saps who have that edition as their only option. Other than that, always play Java.
I thought it was compatible with a translation layer?
I guess that’s a big technical hurdle.
I get that. It’s like saying “just install Linux to run this,” but weird thing is OP already installed Linux, so I’m assuming their technical proficiency is pretty high.
It is “compatible” using geyser as a bridge yes, but it causes a lot of headaches for the Java server owner to the benefit of the Bedrock player. Like duping being possible through manipulation of the client on a mobile phone.
I meant the other way around, eg a Java client connecting to the bedrock ecosystem.
AFAIK no, there have been attempts but in general Bedrock servers are more “tightly integrated” (plain english - restricted from modding and doing things the “unofficial way” compared to stock Mojang binaries) compared to Java servers, which have basically free range to change what they wish.

you can play java on mobile, but the controls do suck there for mobile even with mods that overhaul the controls to improve it
